Judson Is but moderately stating the

panied him here a short time ago.
They seemed surprised to find so city

some instances handsome brick and
iron business houses, good brick pave

over we'll macadamized streets, gas and
waterworks adequate to a city OF
80, 900 inhabitants, and all other con-
veniences and comforts OF life. Mr..
Judson is right-Lexington is one OF
the best of the smaller Missouri cities,
aud if he will come to see us about
June l, when the grass becomes like a
carpet of green, when the trees are in
full leaf, when the birds are cooling
and wooing, and the sweet girl gradu'
ates are clad in their drapery of white
decked here and there with flowers.

antee that he will return to his home

strain him to say that Lexington is one

ApropOs of the recent thuuder storm, a

o'clock Friday afternoon that he expected
a thunderstorm before morning. At
that time there was no indication of it

a true prophet, nevertheless. Wnen
Chapman was asked how ne was able TO
toretel the storm, ne said that year and
halt ago his fathers house was struck
by lightning and ne WAS stunned by the
shock. The current passed through his
body and went out at his right nee, W1icn

other can be acted upon; nothing eau be
got from nothing, so that it is the value

that should be taxed. TIE first result
would be terrific rise in rents, the sec

James HcWhsrter In Bad Condition
Working On a Silver Mine.
Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFORD, TEX, March 2S.-LaSt
Monday a gentleman from near Whit, in
this county, brought in in his wagon man
in precarious condition, almost without
raiment and nearly starved to death, and
besides this be has entirely lost his mind.
Re was properly cared for by the ailer,
MIR. Cleveland, and was taken to the poor
farm, as it was thought best, he being
perfectly quiet and apparently harmless.
To day the man WAS brought back TO
town and placed in a room il The county
Jail, and at the solicitation of the county
officials, THE GAZETTE reporter went up
to see the man to see if some
information could not be obtained
as TO his name and the
whereabouts of MS relatives or where
he was from. He is man nearly six
feet in height, and will weigh abCslt 100
pounds. His complexion is light, with
light blue or rather gray eyes, and about
thirty five years old. After some little
time spent in trying to get MIN interested
he seemed to gam his right mind, though
ne could not speak plainly, during which
time he stated to your reporter that he
WAS from Mississippi two or three years
ago, and bad been living south of this
place a long distance; that his name
is James McWhorter. He says his mother
is now living. He has q brother
living, whose name is Thomas Nc
Whorter; that he has one sister living,
though he couldn't tell her name nor her
residence; he said he wanted to 90 home,
though he could not tell wheie it was,
only ne knew his mother and brother
lived south of this place some distance.
Right here he seemed to totally lose his
mind again. It is to be hoped that this
article may meet the eyes OF some rela-
tive or friend of this poor fellow who will
see to him.

JEFF Mills, another member of the

was rounded up last night by officers
Gus Montgomery, Henry Miller, B.

mand to surrender Mills opened fire on
the officers, who returned the fire, and
after eleven shots were exchanged, Mills
made good his escape. This was about
8 O'clock, and although the officers fol-
lowed him they failed to make capture.
The man John league has q wife living

and CeagEe commenced a conversation
which was heard by the officers,
who placed them in different
cells, and as far apart as possible, so
they cannot hold any private converse

hey will allow the newspapers to use

The Voice of the Granger is Heard and
Needed in the Land.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Mr.. Henry George has just re-detined
his land theory He cautions those who
expect a redistribution of soil from him
that neither three acres and a COW, nor
forty acres and mule, nor even three
feet of land without e dog to stock It with,
are to be expected when ne comes into
power. In fact, titles are not to be dis
turbed, thai is TO say practically dis
turbed; theoretically all title to land is to
be in the government, but they who now
occupy it will be permitted to continue in
possession, and their heirs after them,
even as they now DO.
All that Mr.. George wants is to make
land the sole and universal source of pub
lie revenue. He who now owns z thou
sand acre farm or q million dollar store,
factory, or palace, or truck patch, or q
cottage, is to hold under benign govern
meat, and pay to it as tax just as much as
the land or land and buildings would re-
turo as rent. This is the piainest sum-
mary we are able To give Of M. Georges
last dttinitioa of his land doctrine. 1t
bears signs Of the modifying influence of
public opinion upon the most advanced of
pes>imists.

ger of becoming fashionable fad. Men
